Molly-Mae confesses the biggest fear she faced when Tommy’s drinking left her ‘feeling like a single mum’ to Bambi
MOLLY-MAE Hague has revealed the biggest fear she faced when Tommy’s drinking left her ‘feeling like a single mum’ to daughter Bambi.
In upsetting scenes from her new TV series , the 25-year-old reflected on all things motherhood and her break-up from Tommy Fury, also 25.
As she rocked Bambi and put her to sleep, the Filter founder, who lives in a huge £3.5million mansion, admitted: “I’ve had a few moments recently where I’ve genuinely felt like a single mum.”
The Love Island star turned businesswoman also added: “It’s just, I don’t know, sometimes it just really hits you that, oh actually I’m in this alone now.”
After news just days ago that the real reason she and Tommy split was down to his addiction to alcohol, the Maebe founder then added: “Going from having this life where every day I was a free bird to kind of do and go and have whatever day I wanted to have, and then suddenly, overnight, my life wasn’t my life anymore.”
The blonde beauty, who recently found herself at the heart of BBL rumours, revealed the biggest fear she faced when Tommy’s drinking left her feeling like a ‘single mum’, as she questioned: “Have I just ruined any chances of me actually being able to work or do anything other than taking care of this little person?”
But despite her struggles, Molly-Mae confessed: “Being a mum, it is amazing and I feel like as the days go on, I’m loving it even more as Bambi grows.
“But at the start, it was a lot to take in, a lot to navigate.”
The influencer gave fans a close-up look into her home life during the Prime Video episode, as she admitted: “I think I wouldn’t change anything that’s happened over the last five years, because now we have her and she’s just the best thing ever, so I’m very grateful.”
But the content creator, who has 1.9million subscribers on YouTube, explained that having a child young was not what she initially planned.
She acknowledged: “It was never really something that I imagined I’d young, I never really wanted to have children young, but when I met Tommy and we were really in love and we were really happy together, I thought, do you know what, something that’s half of me and half of you and something that we’ve made together, that felt really magical.”
The mum-of-one then shared a snippet of a Facetime call with Tommy, whereby he said goodnight to the almost two-year-old.
And moments later, Molly-Mae told her mum Debbie: “Tommy just rang me to say goodnight to Bambi.”
Opening up on navigating co-parenting, she added: “He has been popping round to see her.”

But clearly still devastated about the breakup, she shared: “It’s all so fresh, I feel really traumatised by the last couple of months and when I see him, I see all that trauma.
“I am angry at him and I am very hurt, I can’t help that.”
Timeline of Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury's split
After five years together, Molly-Mae and Tommy Fury split up in August 2024.
At around 4pm on Wednesday, August 14, Molly-Mae and Tommy suffer an explosive showdown and Molly-Mae announces her split from fiancé Tommy Fury, saying ‘ I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way’.
An hour later Tommy shares a separate and brief statement confirming they have parted ways, and thanks Molly-Mae for making him ‘a dad’.
The real reason they split emerges and on Thursday, August 15 The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae learned Tommy had cheated on her – leading to an explosive showdown.
On Saturday, August 17, The Sun reveals how Molly-Mae had been sent an upsetting video showing Tommy kissing a girl in a nightclub in North Macedonia on a lads holiday.
Exactly one week after the split a Danish woman accused of getting close to Tommy speaks to The Sun. On Wednesday, August 21, she denies she is the girl who kissed Tommy.
Despite this, she claimed: “He hopes in the future that we will be back together as a family.
“Obviously I never, ever wanted Bambi to come from a broken home, because I did come from a broken home.”
Have I just ruined any chances of me actually being able to work or do anything other than taking care of this little person?
Molly-Mae
Prior to the release of her new show, Molly-Mae previously revealed that she didn’t enjoy motherhood in Bambi’s baby-days, but is proud of Tommy despite their split.
Five months after the Love Island star called it quits with the father of her child, the content creator got candid on co-parenting.
In an interview with Grazia, the star, who recently got emotional as she spoke after her first festive season as a single mother, explained that she and Tommy have shielded their daughter from the hardest parts of the break-up.
She confessed: “I’m really proud of the job Tommy and I have done so far with raising her.
Molly-Mae's glow-down from ‘glamour model’ to ‘yummy mummy’
Celebrity PR Expert, Ed Hopkins told Fabulous: “I believe Molly-Mae Hague‘s new look is more than just a style change but a powerful statement of who she is becoming.
“It underscores her journey towards authenticity, maturity, and sophistication and is likely to enhance her success and influence in the years to come.”
Brand and Culture Expert Nick Ede agreed, and told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae has transformed herself into a yummy mummy who has ditched the glamour model style for a more relaxed and natural look.
“She’s becoming more down to earth and relatable to people and cleverly showing a softer side which will win her legions more fans in the process.”
According to Ed Hopkins, Molly-Mae’s chic new look could be “highly lucrative” for the star.
Ed told Fabulous: “Molly-Mae Hague’s transformation towards a more natural, chic look seems to be a testament to her personal growth and evolving style.
“This change, which has become more pronounced since she became a mother, appears to reflect her journey towards embracing authenticity and sophistication.
“It’s possible that this new image could be highly lucrative for Molly-Mae.
“Her chic, understated style might appeal to a wider audience, including more mature demographics and high-end brands, potentially opening up lucrative endorsement deals and partnerships.
“By adopting a more elegant look, she seems to align herself with premium and luxury brands that favour natural beauty and sophistication, which could lead to higher-paying collaborations.
“Additionally, with consumers increasingly valuing authenticity and natural beauty, her new image could be both timely and marketable.”
Nick Ede agreed and told Fabulous: “She has started to promote some really great luxury brands including the cosmetics brand Tatcha and with her laid back look she will make a lot of money from brands looking to align with her.”
Ed also noted that Molly-Mae’s transformation may be a sign that she is looking to step away from her reality show past.
He continued: “Molly-Mae’s transformation also seems to symbolise her desire even more so to well and truly step out of the shadow of her Love Island persona.
“The shift to a more mature and unique style appears to demonstrate her growth and her wish to be seen as an individual beyond her reality TV beginnings.
“By shedding the bold, flashy look associated with her time on Love Island, she might be rebranding herself as a serious businesswoman and influencer who is carving out her own identity.
“This new look helps her stand out in the crowded influencer market, showcasing her as a trendsetter with a distinctive, refined aesthetic.”
Nick agreed and claimed: “Shedding the flash looks she previously went for, she’s also detaching herself from the Love Island stereotype and stepping out as her own person with a cool look that’s not flashy but totally on trend.
“Gone are the ‘look at me’ posts and in are family style posts and trend led fashion statements.”
“We’ve really protected her, and she’s so young I feel like she’s not felt this happening.”
She added: “I used to sit and think, ‘This isn’t how I imagined it would look,’ and I was confused as to why I felt like it looked one way for other people, but then one way for me.
“I didn’t feel like I was enjoying it really but, as the months passed, I feel like I’ve really found my feet with it now. I love motherhood so much.”
Molly-Mae then shared all on “not getting everything perfect”, as she explained: “I’ve become really good at accepting the highs and lows of this job. My relationship breakdown being in the public eye was hard, but also, I have a young daughter, so she was my strength.”
“It’s just waking up and pushing on because life has to. I’ve got businesses to run, a life to live and a daughter to raise.”
